Manakamana trip


I was leaving PPS where I had worked for about two years. Already we( I and my close colleagues) were tired of working; no vacations and refreshment. After Repopt Card Distribution, we had planned to go somewhere to chill....

So, on 13th April 2011 i.e. The last of 2067BS. I, Saroj, Subash, Pusparaj and Binod, after Prakash's disapprobation, went to Manakamana temple which is located on the top of a hill in Gorkha. It is believed that the Goddess fulfils the wishes of the people. We stayed overnight there; enjoyed the beautiful hills around the temple.

Inside the temple, there is a stone replica of the goddess. The priest were reciting the prayers. Pilgrims were ringing the bell...
